You will need to achieve a score of at least 30 correct answers (50%) to pass.

The Practitioner exam will be held on the final day of the course. It is a two hour Objective Testing Examination (complex multiple-choice). There are four questions based around a case-study scenario. Delegates are allowed to use an annotated Agile Project Management handbook to assist them in the examination. You will need to achieve a score of at least 30 correct answers out of 60 to pass. The pass mark (50%) is averaged across all four questions.
